activities also called for another two-man team to visit Enjebi by

helicopter (see Table 4.3, Mission 17).

For KING, the cameras

were mounted on the Medren phototower and in Station 302 at the

foot of the tower.
Radiation Exposure Potential:

ground zero.

Enjebi was 2-3/4 nmi from the MIKE

At 1240 on the day of the MIKE shot, a reading of 50

R/hr was taken from a helicopter 150 feet over the center of the
island.

Assuming normal radioactive decay, a 10-minute stay would

have been allowed 26 hours after the detonation (see Appendix B).

Medren Island was not contaminated by either shot.
encountered no early fallout.

The Estes

There was some minor fallout on

3Xbaer

3 November on the ship.
Staffing:

Four persons can be identified with Project 3.1

activity, two civilians and two Air Force men, and a summation of

their dose is shown in Table 4.4.
Project Report:

WT-639 (IPO 132.1TU9#1).

Project 3.2 - Cloud Phenomena

Agency:
Operations:

Edgerton, Germeshausen, and Grier (EG&G)
Motion and still cameras were operated to record the

size, shape, and movement of the shot clouds.

For MIKE, project

cameras were on Medren, on the USS Curtiss (AV-4) and the Estes,
and on two TG 132.4 C-47s.

At shot time, the planes were both at

10,000 feet, and one was 85 nmi south of MIKE ground zero and one
was 85 nmi east of ground zero (IPO 132#1, IVY, pp. 98-99)
